By now everyone should know of my work with Black Russian and Sputnik and how many people grow then out and swear by them as far as potency and yields and no one complains ever about flavor but I see people describing it as Berry Pepper or Spicy and that not really the flavor I was looking for when I started out. Everyone is crazy about Blueberry but to be honest its rare I find a female that actually taste anything like an actual blueberry anything. Sure there are the occasional rare yummy ones but its not like a super tasty keeper is in every pack. Now I must clarify this has nothing to do with Somass lavender I have smoked it several times and it doesnt have the same taste, smell or look at this northern California original.
I have spoken with several people who grow this cutting also know to some as Urkle. Its easily recognized by her super short and slow growth pattern and later in bud her amazing transformation into a Lavender beauty just reeking of grapes and purple goodness.
It my recent article The Color Purple I lay out why cannabis turns purple and other colors and explained why so many find it desirable. I have spend many wasted dollars trying purple samples both in the US and in the UK as well as Canada but until Sticky Lungs passed this cut to me I was not overly impressed with the taste of any of them and you know me I am into taste as much as potency. If Lavender has a down side its how slow she grows after rooting. In soil I take cuts a full month before the rest of my strains just so she can have a chance of keeping up. One thing Space Dude ( our Space Queen breeding male) is good for is adding some speed and stretch to most of his sibling crosses and we hope the combination of potency and heavy resins will make a killer cross.
